Daily Review.
GAZETTE OFFICE,
FORT WORTH. TEX. Oct. 81, 1887.
Cotton is still coming in lively. There
were over $50 bales received to-day.
Trade was goot in all lines to-day.
Retailers say business to-day has been
tremendous, the people from the sur
rounding country, who were kept away
by the late muddy roads, have fiocked in
and created boom for the time.
Dealers in grain and feed stuffs report
a flourishing trade to-day, and grain all
around is selling at the topof quotations
below.
WOOL.
The improvement noticed in the wool
markets week ago has not been ssus.
tanned. Most Of the manufacturers are
buying as cautiously as ever. Though
they take good deal Of stock in the Rg-
gregate they are confident that prices are
not going up for the present, therefore
give little thought to the future. Even
il existing values hold il is a clesr gain
for them TO have the dealers carry the
wool until it is wanted, and the possibili-
ty of occasional says is ever before them.
The Quito for wooden goods, however,
is much better than for some time past.
The orders so far taken have reached q
fair volume for the season, and an in
crease in the consumption of material is
anticipated with more confidence than
heretofore. This, 1t is thought, should
strengthen values sooner or later. Still
the market for the present is unsatisl &C
tory. Holders in the country show no
diminution Of f cmness.
Little is doing IN the fall clip at San
Antonio and elsewhere in Texas, where
considerable receipts are reported. Buy
ers are holding aloof. A comparatively
small amount has been received on the
seaboard as yet, but eastern commission
house, look for consignments later on.
The fall clip is moving rather more freely
in California.
Business is quiet in the Boston market
Manufacturers are taking sample bags as
freely IS heretofore, but do not in
crease their orders materially. The
policy CT buying only for i'm
mediate requirements proved so
profitable during the summer that
the inclination to continue it is unim-
paired. So far as their output ia con-
cerned, they are believed to be in better
shape than year ago. The demsnd for
fleece wool is moderate but steady. Buy
ers can obtain Michigan X without diff,
Guilty at SOC. Some increase in the de-
mand for medium territory stock is re-
ported, but, on the whole, this descrip-
ion Of Wool continues weak. There is O
fair reque st for carpet stock. The range
of prices shows no quotsbie change. The
sales of the week al Boston are reported
at 100000 pounds, as compared with
$500, 900 lost week, and 100000 in the
corresponding week year ago.
At Philadelphia wool has been in If
regular demand, and the larger sales have
all been at "bottom" prices. Several
good sized lines IF fine OaiO fiaeces have
been sold st 32@324c, which is lower
than the same wools conl3 be laid down
here from the west. Stocks Of fieeces are
running down, and the relative strength
of holders views in primary markets
prevents the replenishment OF supplies In
the hands of dealers. Except 1t low
rates manufacturers are not inclined to
anticipate requirements. The sales sg-
gregste l, 526, 600 pounds, against 49,
900 pounds last week and 928, 900 pounds
for corresponding week last year
